See Episode GuideThe Race is On: Chris Dorsey and wife Amy are building the Ultimate Sportsman's Lodge in Colorado.
Chris Dorsey, world-class sportsman and author, and his wife Amy, are building the Ultimate Sportsman's Lodge in Colorado, the place to be if you love the outdoors. At 10,000 square foot, off the grid and complete with the Ultimate Man Cave, Trophy Room, Spaniel Spa, Wildlife Art Gallery, Ultimate Sportsman's Locker Room, Liar's Saloon, Alaska Theater, and Outdoor Kitchen, it's every hunter and fisherman's dream home Building the Ultimate Sportsman's Lodge has many challenges-rain, equipment failing, and a tight schedule to keep before winter sets in.
All Hands on Deck
The deadline looms closer and winter weather continues to be an issue for the crew; the ground isn't getting any softer. And with a dozen projects going on at once-the bamboo flooring, the lightning rods, the Alaska Theater and more-it will require some complicated choreography from Greg and Rebecca to keep the crews from stepping all over each other. On a rare day off for the crew, Chris Dorsey treats the guys to a classic fish fry at the build site.
The Final Reveal
It's been six months since the Dorsey's broke ground on the Ultimate Sportsman's Lodge. There's still a long punch to knock out before the lodge is finished, and moving day is right around the corner. On top of that, they need to make time for installing the world class art around the lodge, which artists John Banovich and Lance Boen are coming to do themselves. Will the crew succeed in their last push to finish the lodge?

Preparing for the Elements: tensions mount as monsoons cause complications and delays.
The sub floor is in, and the timbers are up, but the Colorado monsoons are in full force, causing complications and delays. Walls and roof have to go up before the Colorado snow comes, and Greg Krom and his team are working with unfamiliar building elementsSIPs, highly insulated, structural panel for the walls and roof. To break the tension, Chris Dorsey takes the crew fishing. Dorsey talks about reclaimed beetle damaged wood, which is being used for the locker room. The wood represents Dorsey's commitment to wildlife conservation, which is echoed in the paintings of artists such as John Banovich, which will fill the finished lodge.

Half Way There: Weathering the house in is a major milestone, but there's still a long way to go.
The Ultimate Sportsman's Lodge is weathered in, and blue skies are overhead. However, the electrical install turns out to be more complicated than previously thought, and while the stone tile is going up outside, Amy catches an expensive mistake and gives Greg Krom an earful. Tensions flare. The crew does manage to have some success by finishing the new Ultimate Sportsman's Locker Room. It's the perfect place to keep sporting gear stored and organized. From gun safes to fishing tackle, this room has it all! It's an outdoor sportsman's indoor paradise and we'll have fun testing out the new toys out in the yard.
